1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a multifactorial pathological process associated with low back pain in which nucleus pulposus cell senescence is disrupted. Increasing evidence reveals that IVDD can be modulated by microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs). In the current study, we set out to elucidate the role of miR-199a-5p in nucleus pulposus cell apoptosis and IVDD progression. After sample collection, we found highly expressed miR-199a-5p in nucleus pulposus tissues of both patients diagnosed with IVDD and in IVDD rat models. Next, normal and degenerated nucleus pulposus cells were isolated and transfected with miR-199a-5p mimic, miR-199a-5p inhibitor, overexpressed sirtuin 1 (oe-SIRT1), and oe-p21, followed by detection of nucleus pulposus cell apoptosis and proliferation. In addition, the binding of miR-199a-5p and SIRT1, the interaction between p21 and SIRT1, and the regulation of p21 acetylation by SIRT1 were analyzed. We found that miR-199a-5p overexpression promoted nucleus pulposus cell apoptosis and IVDD. Overexpression of SIRT1 countered the effect of miR-199a-5p overexpression, while overexpression of p21 reversed the effect of miR-199a-5p silencing. Also, miR-199a-5p inhibited SIRT1, promoted p21 acetylation, and upregulated p21 expression, thus accelerating nucleus pulposus cell apoptosis and IVDD. Overall, miR-199a-5p promotes nucleus pulposus cell apoptosis and IVDD by suppressing SIRT1-dependent deacetylation of p21.
